3.1 Pump Cover Assembly
- Install Water Seals: Take the pump cover (Figure 3.1) and install the water seals into the three bottom holes. Ensure the flat side of the seal faces upwards. Do not install them in reverse.
- Install Inlet Valves: Insert the inlet valves into their designated positions. You should hear a click sound when they are properly seated.
- Install Outlet Valves: Install the outlet valves into the three screw holes on the top part of the pump cover. Secure them by screwing on the caps.

3.2 Pump Casing Assembly
- Install Oil Seals: In the pump casing (Figure 3.4), install the oil seals into the three designated holes. Press the plastic bracket on top of the oil seal to secure it. Repeat for the other three holes.
- Install Plungers and Springs: Insert the plungers and their corresponding springs into the appropriate openings in the casing.
- Install Pressure Sensing Pin: Finally, install the pressure sensing pin into its position on the top of the casing.

4. Operating Considerations
These components are designed to restore or maintain the functionality of your pressure washer pump. Once properly installed, the pump should operate according to its original specifications. Always ensure all connections are secure and leak-free before operating the pressure washer. Refer to your pressure washer's main instruction manual for specific operating procedures and safety guidelines.
5. Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of your pressure washer pump's internal components can prevent premature failure and ensure consistent performance.
- Inspect Seals: Periodically check water and oil seals for signs of wear, cracking, or leakage. Replace them immediately if any damage is observed.
- Check Valves: Ensure check valves move freely and are not obstructed by debris. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Plungers and Springs: Inspect plungers for scoring or excessive wear. Check springs for corrosion or loss of tension. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal pressure.
- Cleanliness: Keep the pump area clean and free of dirt and debris, which can contaminate seals and valves.
6. Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your pressure washer pump is experiencing issues, replacing specific wearing parts can often resolve the problem.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage from pump head | Worn or damaged water seals | Replace water seals (Figure 3.1, Figure 3.2) |
| Oil leakage from pump casing | Worn or damaged oil seals | Replace oil seals (Figure 3.4) |
| Low or inconsistent pressure | Worn plungers, weak springs, or faulty check valves | Inspect and replace plungers, springs, or check valves as needed (Figure 3.5, Figure 3.2, Figure 3.3) |
| Pump not building pressure | Faulty pressure switch or clogged check valves | Check pressure switch functionality and clean/replace check valves. |
